Now that Charles has made a spreadsheet of our shows with show counts, it looks like we have way more shows than I thought.

In the past, I always estimated the number of shows by the total file size. I was way off, plus I have been uploading a lot lately. If we count up all the OTR shows, music shows and movies, we have around 40,000 shows.

We just added a real nice set of music shows called "California Melodies". These were recommended to us by our club member Kevin. Great music and excellent sound quality. Give them a listen. They are located in the club members area in the 002_Music-And-Singing-Shows folder.

I saw a post on another website pointing to our Ellery Queen page. The webmaster said that there were a lot of shows with the wrong names.

Allen (The Shadow) volunteered to take on this big project. He downloaded, listened, renamed, deleted duplicates and re-uploaded every show in our Ellery Queen directory. Thanks Allen for a job well done!

Our Music, Western, Children and Christmas show 13 DVD set has arrived in the mail today. Also the 30 DVD Jazz and old time music collection from Kevin is here too. I'll start sorting through them today and try to get something uploaded. Also, the BBC radio show folder has been moved to the top of the directory so people can find it easier. I already uploaded several small sets of shows this morning. Click on the "Date Last Modified" link at the top of the members directory. Click once to see the oldest shows. Click the link again to see the newest shows added.

Broadcast in the late 1940s, this adventure series centers around the travels of a tramp steamer called The Scarlet Queen to exotic ports of call in the Pacific. The show's use of the ship's log as a narrative device is reminiscent of Star Trek and may well be where Gene Roddenberry lifted the idea from. The stories themselves are a pleasing mix of swashbuckling Indiana Jones and hard-boiled detective, liberally seasoned with saltwater for flavoring.

In this episode, the ship is chartered for a lucrative voyage, but before she can set sail, the first mate is accused of murder and it is up to the captain to prove his innocence.

Added "The Complete Illustrated Sherlock Holmes Collection" Ebook to the Sherlock Holmes section on the home page. It's in PDF format. You need the free Adobe Reader software to read it. Most people already have this software installed.

We've just added 54 "Let's Pretend" Children Shows to the club members area. These are great shows that children of all ages will enjoy. Classic fairy tales and other great shows. This is a great way to introduce your children and grandchildren to the fun of old time radio. Probably better for them than watching the TV shows of today.
